Francis Mercier arrives at Pacha NYC not just as a DJ but as the architect of two of house music’s most forward-thinking labels. Deep Root Records (DRR) has helped launch the careers of globally recognized artists, accumulating 500M+ streams across its roster. Alongside it, Solèy — his second imprint — channels sounds from the Levant, Africa, and the Caribbean into a shared musical identity that moves across continents.His productions have earned him a #2 placement on Beatport’s Top 10 Overall chart, BBC Radio 1 support from Pete Tong, and a spot on Diplo’s Revolution on SiriusXM — while collaborations with Diplo, Major Lazer, Gorgon City, and BLOND:ISH have placed him at the intersection of club music’s most culturally ambitious voices. On Sunday October 11, that world of Afro house, soulful percussion, and globe-spanning energy arrives on the Pacha NYC dancefloor.
